No relatives at roots tech 2023 on my paternal side

Hi, for the second year in a row I have no relatives at Roots tech on my fathers side. I even added in more family on his side in the hope it would generate a response. This year I had 328 maternal relative at roots tech and a good number last year. I find it hard to credit that there isn’t one person on my fathers side out of the 609,000 approx attendees. I have 6 generation on family search

Relatives at RootsTech doesn't just depend on what you have posted to the site. It also depends on whether your living family is also active on FamilySearch and if they opted in to the program.

I have almost 50,000 relatives at RootsTech this year. 3 - exactly 3 - are paternal.
